26 Promotions - Peoria, AZ - (April 3, 2018) - RJ Johnson claimed his third USAC Southwest podium finish of 2018 at Canyon Speedway Park’s Easter Eggstravaganza on Saturday night.
Johnson started on the pole and led all eight laps to pick up the heat race win.
After the points were tallied, Johnson was third in passing points, lining him up fourth for the 30-lap feature after the six-car invert.

Johnson’s next scheduled event is April 14th with the AMSOIL USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, CA.
